Sorry about the short notice, but when I got home from vacation yesterday, I decided that this next weekend might be a good time for a balloon launch, before I...
Here's the latest prediction for Sunday's launch, using the 12z GFS model. I'm not very confident of the results this many days from the launch, but it looks...
The latest 12z GFS model has the balloon landing down range about 11 miles, bearing 137 degrees. Based on this track and one I ran with the last model late...
I ran the 12z and 15z GFS models and didn't see much of a difference in the predicted track. The NWS is still predicting a southerly breeze around 9 mph at the...
The track prediction is shaping up nicely for the launch from Doniphan. It should be a slow leisurely chase, and plenty of time to stop at the convenience...

With the way the predictions look this morning, I'm moving the launch site back to Walnut Middle School. The predicted landing spot was within 2 miles of I-80....
All things considered we were extremely lucky today. I decided to move the launch location at the last minute this morning, which sort of a threw a curve to a...
The payload camera on CNNSP-09 took a little over 200 pictures yesterday, before the batteries died. I installed a brand new 1GB card and the timer was set for...

Roger, Was the image you sent a cropped image or the full frame? My money is on it being the moon, but failing that, perhaps it's a lens flare or a piece of...
